Apogee opens online store, peddling its classics

Shareware pioneer Apogee Software has announced the launch of a new online store, offering a handful of Apogee's most well-known games, specifically Duke Nukem 3D, Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project, Rise of the Triad and both Blake Stone titles, all of which can be had for $5.99 each. Savvy readers may recognize that the same lineup has been available via GoG.com for some time now.

The Apogee store manages to offer a better deal though, thanks to its "Legacy Pack" which bundles all five games for $20. The bundle also includes the "Extreme Rise of the Triad" expansion and ... the Duke Nukem: Critical Mass soundtrack. Also, until June 20, the store is running a Father's Day promotion, offering the Legacy Pack for only $15. Just use the promo code "Father" during checkout.

The current slate of available games is apparently just the beginning, as Apogee plans to revisit its beginnings as a digital distributor by "providing a platform for new developers to access a global market."

Dallas, TX, June 15, 2011- Apogee announces the launch of its new online store. Gamers can access some of Apogee's favorite legacy titles, including the King himself in Duke Nukem 3D, Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project, and the Apogee "Legacy Pack." The Legacy Pack is a collection of classic Apogee games including, Duke Nukem 3D: Atomic Edition, Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project, Rise of the Triad: Dark War, Blake Stone: Aliens of Gold, and Blake Stone: Planet Strike all for the low price of $19.99.

Apogee was a pioneer in digital distribution 25 years ago, before the rise of the console. Apogee's unique digital distribution method gained industry-wide acceptance, and came to be known as the "Apogee Model".

"Apogee fostered young development teams creating a global audience through its digital distribution platform," says Terry Nagy, Apogee's Chief Creative Officer. "Apogee will continue its tradition by providing a platform for new developers to access a global market...our online store being the first step in this direction."
